Hello Carol, I stumbled on this site by accident when seeking info on Lyons...Extraordinary that you have so much info on Patrick Kilkenny, Hazelhill....who married my Great grand aunt. Maria (Mary) Lyons..as you state they were parents of  Priest Fr Patick Kilkenny......He was Head of St Jarlaths College Tuam for 22 years..Died 12 Nov 1921...as Archdeacon and priest of Kilcolman which is Claremorris..my father was the executor of his estate..I know he had few relatives (many on his mothers side) but all  lived in Chicago where his brother Austin went to aged 10 in 1866..........I was not aware of the brothers Owen or John you mention Patrick had......I have a newspaper extract report at a ceremony in Chicago in 1880....attended by Rev John Kilkenny native of Drimbane Ballyhaunis  born 1839 and his brother Rev Pat Kilkenny who died 31 March 1903 and buried in new cemetery Ballyhaunis. Yet more Kilkennys....but none that I am aware of from the Hazelhill connection.
